²⁹ The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, ^(A)all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.

³⁷ those very men who brought the evil report about the land, ^(A)died by the plague before the Lord.

⁶⁵ For the Lord had said of them, “They ^(A)shall surely die in the wilderness.” So there was not left a man of them, ^(B)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹⁷ Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^(A)whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

Old and New Apostates

⁵ But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that ^(A)the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
